[[3 images]] [[caption]] Some more activities at 35th Boule[[/caption]] HISTORY OF CHI ETA PHI SORORITY, INC. Chi Eta Phi's history has demonstrated much growth, however, much is still to be accomplished. With the dynamic leadership of our supreme basileus and with program activities depicting our new theme selected at Boule 1976 "New Directions: Accountability and Responsibility" our accomplishments and contributions will ensure us a strong future. About our leader we may use the statement made by a speaker: "A true professional leader is a person who performs in a business manner, is sympathetic without sentiment; is considerate yet firm, is not shocked or overwhelmed in stress situations and has the ability to make decisions without fear of failure. Furthermore, that professional leadership is not easily defined in words, but it is evident in the performance of exceptional skills." Again, Chi Eta Phi Sorority, Inc., has a rich history and more than ever is committed to its motto, "Service for Humanity." In this, our 49th year, and when reflecting on health care needs of our nation, and the health care delivery system, we must continue ourselves to do whatever we can in order to ensure better health care for all people. An international sorority of registered nurses and student nurses, Chi Eta Phi Sorority, Inc. was founded in 1932 in Washington, D.C. by Aliene C. Ewell, together with eleven other charter members. Our purposes are: 1. To encourage the pursuit of continuing education among members of the nursing profession. 2. To have a continuous recruitment program for nursing and the health profession. 3. To stimulate a close and friendly relationship among the members. 4. To constantly identify a corps of nursing leaders within the membership who will function as agents of social change on the national, regional, and local levels. Our program priorities include continuous recruitment in the health careers; scholarship to students enrolled in schools of nursing; development of skills bank profiles on members; increase political involvement on all levels by becoming more knowledgeable in government affairs (on a non-partisan basis); continued liaison representation (NCNW, NAACP, ANA, NLN); increase membership by establishing more chapters. At this time there are some 42 graduate chapters and 15 undergraduate chapters, with a total membership of about one thousand. Locally and nationally, the organization continues to concern itself with professional, civic, and cultural affairs, working through such associations as NAACP, NCNW, YMCA, YWCA, and others. Contributions are being made to Federal Campaign Fund, NCNW, UNCF, NAACP, Urban League, Association for the Blind, Heart Association, Cancer Society, Sickle Cell Foundation, Multiple Sclerosis Foundation, Cerebral Palsy Foundation, and others.
